Introduction
An in-depth understanding of current healthcare policies is essential for the
development of an effective strategy. In order to understand effective healthcare
policies, an understanding has been developed for a gathering of information which is
related to social and healthcare needs. Issues of public concern also have been given a
priority for utilising a better system in current time. An efficient and effective system of
nursing can be given a better emphasis. The nurses in nursing care are responsible for
allowing effective use of all concerned practices. Training for the nurses can allow them
to manage the critical conditions of the patient.

2.1 Different ways in which the media may be used to influence the attitudes and
behaviour of people in relation to health and social care issues
According to the opinion of Stacks (2016), the role of the media is important to spreading
information among the people of the country. In this case, impact of media can be either
positive or negative in relation to social case issues. On the one hand, liberate and educate
the public regarding the health and social care issues. Moreover, it can also provide valuable
information and make the public aware of the contemporary issues including Female Genital
Mutilation. On the other hand, media can also create panic among the public about the health
related issues. Media can utilise their certain methods and effective techniques to motivate
people to change their mind set which harms lives of females so that the major problem of
FGM can be removed from the society. Some of ways which can be used by media to
influence the attitudes and behaviour of people regarding social issues including female genital
mutilation (FGM) are given below –
Social media – This can be described as to make an appropriate small clips or stories
related to FGM on social media platforms like Facebook, Skype, Instagram and hangouts. It is
helpful to make people aware about FGM and its terrible impacts to encourage them to stop
the same.
Micro blogging – The healthcare institutions can prepare motivating micro blogs
based on FGM and upload on internet to reduce this horrible attempt with girls in society.
Television news channels – There are different television news channels which can
also promote to reduce the activities related t0o FGM because people believe and follow easily
the information provided by them.
However, the behaviour change of the people depends on the response of the media. It
has been seen that if people hear positive news regarding Female Genital Mutilation than no
organisation can prevent the practices of the barbaric exercise. The media plays a significant
role in representing the information. The negative information will have a negative influence on
the people and the positive information will have a positive impact on the people. Moreover, it
has been seen that the media to serve its own interest can provide negative information in a
positive way. In addition, it shall be remembered that people have a different type of attitude
and behaviour, therefore, the information that has been served shall have the correct form. In
this regards, the media plays the most important part to represent the information among the
people. The styles of the presentation shall provide an impact on the public domain. The
representation style for the information shall procure right attitude in delivering, otherwise, it
will not create influence on the people of the organisation. Aveyard (2014) opined that media is
the main character in spreading information among the people about Female Genital Mutilation
(FMG). This will help to prevent the practice of the Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in the
5

country such as Africa, the UK, Somali and many others. It will influence the government of
those countries to achieve strict rules and regulation to prevent Female Genital Mutilation. The
media can be used to circulate reliable information among the peoples by the government. It
shall help the government to create an effected communication strategy for the company.
Moreover, it will help the organisation of Health care unit to furnish new strategy for spreading
awareness among the people with the help of the media. It will help the local authority to
provide an exclusive strategy to prevent the process of Female Genital Mutilation among the
local communities and also helps to spread awareness about the bad effect of the Female
Genital Mutilation. However, it will help the government to achieve an effective strategy for the
presentation of the information.
2.2 Process of assessing the reliability and validity of media information about health
and social care
According to Lewis (2015), the information of the media shall pass the test of reliability
and validity regarding the information about Female Genital Mutilation. The process of
consistency and reliability of the information can be termed as reliable information and
dependability of the information will help to test the validity of the presented
information. Media plays as the backbone in spreading the information among the
people. This will also help to create a policy of the government regarding health and
social care. Harriss and Atkinson (2015) opined that the high credibility of the media
will help to gain reliability among the people. Moreover, the behaviour of the people
towards the organisation of the health care unit will be influenced by the media.
Information related to health care will help the people to be aware of the problem that
can arise from Female Genital Mutilation.
The reliability stands for accuracy and validity consist procedure of dependable
of data evaluated. Media share information at large scale then it is mandatory to
analyse reliability as well as validity of the same. However, it is important for media to
utilise different ways for encouraging people to by providing appropriate information
related to FGM and its harmful effects. Media should specifically take care of
information spread by them with the help of making sure about reliability and validity of
the same because the information mend to be trustworthy.
Moreover, the government spokesperson also plays an important role in lettings out
information regarding the health issue. As stated by Vines et al. (2015), the media
plays an important role in creating communication between the public and the
government. The way of communication must be transparent. Moreover, the amount of
information that been delivered by government spokesperson shall be valid and
reliable. Along with this, some of the news channels such as BBC (British Broadcasting
Corporation) can be considered to be reliable and valid. In addition to this, placement
of news in a newspaper can also impact the knowledge of the viewers regarding
healthcare issues. In this case, the readers need to properly identify the placement of
the important news in the specific media. Moreover, the media influence on the policy-
making decision of the government. In order, to promote the health issue the media
shall play an important role. The media can also help to build a strong environment in
the country. The government can use the media to circulate information in the country.
Moreover, digital media can be used to create an effective influence among the people
regarding the prevention of the practice of the Female Genital Mutilation. The reliability
6

and validity of the media will help to change the behaviour of the people regarding
Female Genital Mutilation and it will help the women and girls to procure appropriate
precaution against the barbaric practice of Female Genital Mutilation. This will also
help the media to achieve high-level of credit among the government of the country.
Moreover, it will also help the government to produce an effective promotional strategy
for the health issue related to Female Genital Mutilation. However, this will also help to
create an effective policy to prevent FGM in countries such as the UK and many more.

Executive Summary
The report analysed the several local issues that create a highly concerned at the
national level. It provides a study about Female Genital Mutilation that provide influence
on the development of health service the World Health organisation established some
program that will eliminate the social care issue. However, to attain an active
participation of the NGOs, the government has reduced tax revenue from them.
Moreover, the government has taken up the issue seriously and request the entire
countryman to participate in the program of the introduced by the World Health
Organisation. It has been seen that the young generation of the UK is mostly affected
by Female Genital Mutilation. The medical practitioner’s research regarding the
preventative methods that will help to cure the girls or women affected with a high risk
of Female Genital Mutilation. Moreover, the government shall introduce more programs
that will help to increase awareness among women and girls. In addition, people have
to change their way of thinking regarding social and health care.
4.1 Analysis of the extent to which local attitudes reflect those found at the
national level
There are several local issues that create a highly concerned at the national level. One
of the most contemporary issues that provide influence on the development of health
service is Female Genital Mutilation (FMG). It can be assumed that any disease
becomes dangerous if the country people are unable to fight against it. According to the
report of Guardian Newspaper of UK, in 2014 more than 20,000 young girls are been
affected by the high-risk of Female Genital Mutilation (Holroyd-Leduc et al. 2016).
Moreover, Around 60,000 women have been already affected by FGM in England and
Wales. Consequently, the World Health organisation established some program that will
eliminate the social care issue. However, to attain an active participation of the NGOs,
the government has reduced tax revenue from them. Moreover, the government has
taken up the issue seriously and request the entire countryman to participate in the
program of the introduced by the World Health Organisation. It has been seen that the
young generation of the UK is mostly affected by Female Genital Mutilation. FGM is a
worldwide problem among the female in the world. Around 98% of women and girl in
Somali has been highly affected by the Female Genital Mutilation (Nölke et al. 2015). In
addition, women from the countries of Africa, Arab are more affected by Female Genital
Mutilation as the people of those country finds this as religious rituals. For example, in
2014, around 125 million women and girls have been affected by FGM in the UK
(Gostin and Wiley, 2016).
There are several social issues in different local areas like FGM which reflects at
national level of country as a threat in context of the development. It include that various
social problems occur in local places which can create major issue in country that is
required to be solved at initial level to remove the same from society. The attitude of the
individuals found at the national level can be heavily reflected in the local attitudes.
Although there can be political, religious, environmental and regional differences, the
national attitude regarding the issue of FMG can be reflected at the local level. This
9

aspect is effectively addressed by different media such as BBC. In this case, BBC has
many regional levels such as BBC London, BBC Wales, BBC Essex and many more. In
this way, they are able to effectively reflect the national attitude incorporating the local
attitude.
4.2 Validity of public attitudes and behaviours in relation to Female Genital
Mutilation
According to Acharya et al. (2017), Female Genital Mutilation is a global problem that
has affected millions of women in the world. It has been seen that every year 3 million
girls have been affected by this unethical exercise. Around 200 million women have
been affected by Female Genital Mutilation worldwide. Moreover, it has been seen that
around 4.8% of per 1000 women is affected by Female Genital Mutilation in England
and Wales. In addition, the lack of awareness has created a vulnerable position for
women and girls globally. The programs that have been introduced by the government
do not propagate perfect knowledge about FGM and its insignificance. In recent time, it
has been seen that the UK is improving awareness about the insignificant exercise
FGM. From 1985, Female Genital Mutilation has been banned in the UK; however, the
government is focusing more to create awareness among the women and the girls of
the UK (Grunert et al. 2014). Every local authority has been taking potential
participation to restrict the Female Genital Mutilation in the local area.
Privatisation – This involve the concept that due to privatisation the expense will
increase then services of media including information about FGM is out reach of
majority of people. It is necessary for media to make sure that every person get desired
knowledge about harmful impacts of FGM ad encourage them to avoid the same.
Reduction in resources – The shortage of staff, decline in service delivery, loss
of jobs, longer waiting times, staff moral is going down and shut down of facilities. It
include the lack of appropriate resources which create problem for sharing appropriate
information related to FGM to every person in the nation.
Discrimination – The factor of discrimination based on various factors such as
gender, age, caste, physical ability and health problem. It is necessary to avoid this
concept while making people aware about harmful effects of FGM which facilitate to
reduce the same from society.
Moreover, the government has ensured authority to the doctors and medical practitioner
to lodge a report to the local police, if they found that the girl has been affected by FGM.
Lewin et al. (2015) opined that Female Genital Mutilation has been a serious crime in
the UK under the Serious Crime Act 2015 and the accused will be punished for life
imprisonment. In addition, the UK Health and Social Care Information Centre have been
creating a focus on increasing awareness regarding Female Genital Mutilation among
women and girls. Moreover, the government of the UK has been initiated to provide
required knowledge for Female Genital Mutilation among the girls. In this regards, the
school of the UK has started a new course for providing knowledge about Female
Genital Mutilation among the young girls.
10

4.3 Justification of possible consequences of contemporary thinking for health and
social care provision and services
People of the United Kingdom shall increase the awareness regarding the insignificant
of Female Genital Mutilation exercise. Many people have already claimed that the
practice of FGM is a barbaric practice. The medical practitioners have already used
medicine to treat the affected person. However, they can go for research regarding the
preventative methods that will help to cure the girls or women affected with a high risk
of Female Genital Mutilation. Moreover, the government shall introduce more programs
that will help to increase awareness among women and girls. In addition, people have
to change their way of thinking regarding social and health care.
The consequences of FGM in present situation is due to several reasons like
fake news, lies, sensalisation, exaggeration, religious and political agendas. However,
these are factors which contribute to occurrence of FGM and promote it in local
communities of country. Moreover, it is necessary to reduce this issue because it impact
severely on their health and lives. In addition to this, it is important to make people
aware about harmful effects of FGM and encourage them to stop this attempt.
Moreover, the government can introduce different types of social awareness message
to prevent the barbaric exercise of FGM. However, it has been seen that social
education will lower the rate of the practice of this barbaric exercise. In order to restrict,
this problem the women education regarding health issue is a necessity. Moreover, the
World Health Organisation shall institute certain health program globally. This will help
every country’s government to enhance their program to an extent. In addition, the
local authority of the countries shall take active participation to prevent the barbaric
practice of Female Genital Mutilation. Schools of the country shall pay more attention to
provide knowledge about FGM. The government shall provide a strict rule in preventing
Female Genital Mutilation in the county.

Conclusion
It can be finally argued that the present health care system needs to integrate modern
technologies for improving and developing an effective and efficient system of
healthcare. The community member in the healthcare organizations is generally
responsible for the better understanding of the present scenario. There has been a
traditional approach and perception to the treatment of the patient. The advent of
modern practice in the system of healthcare has improved this aspect and further
enriches an effective system of treatment.
